Ah come on - I didn't say he's composed every time he shoots - every one snatches at a shot from time to time - Sterling, Coutinho & Ballotelli more than most.
Gerrard's decision leaves Rodgers to sink or swim. To let an icon like Gerrard leave the club means he'd better be successful as he's now on his own.
I think Rodgers will be glad to be free of the presence that Gerrard brings. However, I'm worried we're going to be left with a pretty uninspiring set of 'team' players. When Jordan Henderson is Liverpool captain, it's pretty uninspiring. He's a nice lad and a decent player but not the calibre required.

Of course Poulsen was a disaster. He lost his powers many years before we bought him. That said I think most players would have struggled at that position on that team at that particular time.
He was still a better DM than Gerrard, as much as you all hate to hear it - when we were off the ball.

Yeah. I often sat there, in that free seat (free cos no fucker who paid for their season ticket could bear to watch us anymore & I lived close enough to go short notice cos no one would buy at any price) watching us losing to shite teams, struggling to retain possession whilst Woy rubbed his face & the fans groaned, marvelling at Poulsen's positioning when the opposition attacked at will.
Weally well thanks. Gweat cwistmas and loads of wevelwy over New Years. Went to a wave with wooney and the lads for some mowale stwengthening. Was mental mental chicken oriental.
Well you are when it comes to Poulsen.
I watched him play for Sevilla and cover Alves ass when he went wandering. He was good there. At Liverpool he was awful... yes, even more awful than your pet hate project Gerrard.
He isn't playing as an ordinary DM when we are in possession. He is granted much more inclusion than any ordinary DM etc etc.
But when we are off the ball you can not in any serious manner tell me that he isn't playing next to Lucas with exactly the same defensive responsibilities as Lucas and is required to cover what a normal DM would be asked to cover.
Just asking like, because that is what has caused all the problems defensively...

He was ace at Sevilla for many seasons. Spot on.
Google 2004 Totti and see the clips where Totti spits directly in Poulsens face twice in frustration.
The worst part was that Poulsen asked for Totti's shirt after the match!
He would've been a long time ago, but not now.
I never got Woy's signings.. He was the first manager we had in years, in which I knew any signing he would make would be shit..
When he signed the players he did, with the exception of Meireles I was like.. meh..
Completely uninspired..

Indeed. He was (and is) a small-timer promoted above his true level. Ultimately it isn't a surprise his signings followed the same pattern.
